This Hindi movie raised some thoughts in me:
Amar the terminally ill patient displays the character of a man who is ready to give up those things that he loves most, to keep others happy. And yet, he has to be the one who has to suffer and die. As we have all heard before, good people usually die young. Maybe this is the way God rewards good people - by taking them to a better place than this bad, bad world, which is not the ultimate reality.
What disappoints me is those people who believe in actions more than in words, are the ones who aren't ultimately understood properly. They are the ones who don't get to enjoy the small things that make normal people happy. Like movies, like a game of ping pong, with the people they really love selflessly. It maybe a convoluted argument, but I am not interested in logic. What saddens me is the way some people make very important judgment calls in life, based on small things, but not big things.
I believe in equilibrium. The very thing that looks beautiful to you when you are happy, will look extremely ugly when you are angry and frustrated. So, what is the truth? The truth is in you, not the thing you are looking at. Base your judgments on things like this - yourself, not on things that aren't real. True happiness comes from transcending yourself. Like the psychologist Maslow said, you can go beyond self-actualization to self-transcenence when you see others enjoying the fruits of your selfless hard work. Like your kids and relatives. But when you dig deeper, you begin to think why you should be happy only when you see YOUR people happy? Doesn't unconditional love dictate that you want everyone, and then moving on to all life, every creature, to be happy? I believe that is when you visualize the solution to the mind-body problem, your soul gets liberated, and you become one with God.
